Great Bag......just Too Tight!!

Overall, sleeping bag is very comfortable material. I camped 3 nights straight, when the weather was 85/60. Going to bed at night was boarderline uncomfortable, but, this bag material really made it feel much better. The reason it is 3star.....Im an average size Man, 5'9" - 210lbs. I am a side sleeper, and toss and turn. This sleeping bag was very tight on my body. There was hardly no extra room inside, even to move my arms to a different position. I felt pinned down inside it, fully zipped. Maybe this is the design to keep the material close to the body, so the body heat stays in....not sure, but it was uncomfortable at times.

Great Bag To Upgrade To From A Basic Bag.

Got this bag for my husband at the same time I ordered the women's Forte bag. He is 6' and the regular was just long enough. He prefers to not have too much extra length by his feet. This bag kept him warm in low 40 degree weather.

Perfect Bag For Bigger Guys!

I am 6’ 215lbs. I just spent 10 days camping out west in Montana with this bag. Several days had temps drop into the mid to low 40s. I actually stayed nice and cozy in this bag. Plenty of room and it packed up tight.

Awesome Sleeping Bag

Awesome bag, very light, and comfortable, used it on a 2 night 3 days hike preparing for the AT in March of 24, this was a shakedown hike the bag is a keeper.

Super Comfy

Spent 2 nights in this bag now. Packs quite small, a little difficult to force it into the compression sack, but compresses down well. I'm 6'2" 210 pounds fit well into the long size, plenty of room. First night was about 35* want child but cool inside the bag (on a thermarest trail pro, with underarmour base layer), not sure it would be comfortable without adding additional layers much cooler than that. No issues with the zipper, no issues with anything

Warm, Roomy, Yet Packs Small.

Best sleep in a sleeping bag I have ever had. Warm yet plenty of room. Haven’t tested it down near 20 degree mark. So far without a liner bag did well around 38-40 degrees. It has done as well as I could have hoped and met my expectations. Zippers feel durable but time will tell. Packs small for its size but still will take some room up in my pack compared to my back packing sleeping bag (50 degrees rating so much smaller).

Kept Me Warm And Comfy.

Slept with the bag and no tent. Had some condensation on the outside, but the bag kept me warm. Was in the low forties. Slits open because it wasn’t that cold. Room to roll around in it when I felt like sleeping on my side.

Bad Front Zipper

I just received my sleeping bag yesterday and the zipper on one of the thermogills was already jammed stuck no matter how much I pulled it on either side.

Perfect Couples Bag

Doesn't Pack down as much as the Disco bags, but it sure is comfy! Bought a Men/Women's Bag and it sure does make a good couples pair. :))))

Great

I haven’t actually slept in it yet, but it seems legit. I like how lightweight it is. It cinches down pretty small to make it pack easy in the backpack

Zipper Broke On First Use

Ordered this sleeping bag for spring camping. Tried it out on the floor of my living room when it first arrived. It felt really comfortable and warm, but the vent zipper snagged and broke when I tried to close it. I was never able to get it to close even once. The main zipper seems like much higher quality with liners on both sides to prevent snags. However, the vents have flimsy zippers with nothing to protect the thin material.

Great Warm Bag

This bag is a great warm bag with room to side sleep. After a shake down with my old 32 degree bag I bought this 20 degree bag. WOW what a difference. At 6'4" I fit with extra area in the toe box I was very comfortable in 27 degree temps with high humidity and winds of 25 plus. This is my choice for my upcoming A T thru hike. Cowboy NOBO 2022

Toasty And Tall

Recently took this up to spring in damp 30 degree temps and was so warm! Too warm even (but thank goodness for the vents!). I love this bag and all it has to offer. I am 6'4" and finding a bag that I can fit in with extra room has always been a challenge but this one is great. I love nemo and this bag!!

Perfect Balance Between Mummy And Rectangle

I just spent 10 nights in Oregon with this bag. Coldest night was low 30s, most nights were low 40s. I wore long johns, sweatshirt and socks to sleep in. I was very comfortable each night. Loved the ‘blanket’ feature that kept cold air out of the top. The hood was a good size. But the thing that won me over was the hybrid shape. It was just enough room that I could sleep on my side and tuck my knees up, but not so much room that the bag was huge and because cold because of it. Would definitely recommend.

Lightweight, Comfortable, Just Snug In Thr Middle

Bought this a few weeks ago, I've use its 3 times (8 nights), it's a real comfortable bag, I just can't move in it when it's zipped. I'm 6 ft 250 lbs, I am able to get comfortable by tucking my feet in and draping over me like a blanket. It's not a 100% solution but it's working for now.
